All I've ever heard is slip, for me he took his eye off the ball and failed to control it, the slip was a by product of the panic.

Quoting limited to 3 levels deepBrendan Rodgers plans to resurrect 'Deila Dome' idea at Lennoxtown as Celtic boss explains need for indoor pitch
Spoiler: click to toggle
Tommy Burns was apparently furious that the plans to make the full size indoor pitch were pulled back.

Think the winter break will do is good. The international breaks have been great this season for the likes of Toure, Brown and Sinclair.

Lustig, Tierney and Rogic will get a benefit from a couple of weeks off in Jan
No wonder he was furious - it's an absolute farce the size of that pitch in there. Given we were starting from scratch at Lennoxtown, the fact we didn't go all bells and whistles showed a complete lack of foresight and penny pinching.
Exactly what Murray did for Advocaat after 'a good start' - and their training ground has hoovered up money ever since. Barrowfield was good enough for Stein's team (and MON's too). If they can't make do with Lennoxtown, maybe the training ground isn't the problem? what did Murray Park ever do for the huns apart from bleed them dry financially?


Bit worried if he's described the weather as 'all kinds of grey' so far, been lovely recently :lol: Wait until January when he's not even sure if it got light at all some days. :lol:

We have a three quarters sized indoor pitch/facility in a country where our autumns and winters can have some pretty grim weather. Why not make the facility full sized and fit for purpose. Go visit Ravenscraig or Oriam in Edinburgh for a look at what we could have done - albeit we don't anything as big as what they have. It was a silly move to build a pitch that big indoors.

Also saying was good enough for Stein and MON's teams is a ridiculous response. Maybe we should tell our players to wear cheaper cotton football shirts - they were good enough for the Lisbon Lions?

:lol: aye just a wee bit better. Klopp, with another mans team, reached two finals last year. Rodgers got to two semi-finals, in 3.5 years.

Rodgers is doing a effing brilliant job here but let's not start rosying up what was a effing disaster post-2014. He had one good season, two and a half mediocre to poor seasons. Spent more money in 3 years than Benitez did in 7+. The only Liverpool manager to finish a season post-Shanks and not win a trophy.

Very happy he's at Celtic though. Seems to have worked on just about every deficiency he had so far.

Rodgers also got them damn close to winning the league. I'd agree Klopp's been doing better, but certainly not by the margin some would suggest (yet).

Was Rodgers going through his divorce around the time of Liverpool's worst performances under him? A quick google seems to suggest the dates line up, and it would be understandable if he wasn't entirely focused if that's the case.

Agree on him working on his deficiencies, I'm delighted to see he's cut down the nonsense in press conferences dramatically :lol:

Unrelated to your post, but the article linked above is spot on too, the Suarez argument is lazy and never seems to be applied to other managers with top class players in their teams.

Tbf, mate Klopp lost both finals.

Klopp is of course the better manager, but he is one of the World's best.

Eh? :ponder: Maybe I'm misinterpreting your point, or you meant something other than what you typed, but Liverpool have had multiple trophyless seasons since Shankly - including under Klopp from October onwards last season.

To be honest, I've no interest in entering a Rodgers vs Klopp debate because I've seen very little of Liverpool under either manager and on current form both men seem to be a perfect fit for their respective clubs. However, to suggest that Klopp is performing significantly better than Rodgers did at Liverpool is completely contradicted by the statistics which show that Rodgers averaged 1.88 points per game to Klopp's 1.73.

Who knows, that might all change as the season progresses. Liverpool have certainly been impressive to date this season, and you'd think that failing to qualify for European competition last season should help them mount a pretty strong challenge this season.

As it is, I'm deighted that Rodgers is where he is.

We can judge how much better Klopp has done at the end of the season. Only if he gets second place and/or puts in a decent title challenge can he claim to have as done as well as Rodgers. They're on a great run of form but let's not get carried away until they actually maintain it throughout the 38 game season.

So that's why we gave wee Karamoko Dembele his debut.

We'd rather use wee-er players than make the pitch bigger.

Klopp doesn't have to work under the transfer restrictions Rodgers did, to be fair.
